Abstract: Fabric comprising yarns comprising lyocell fibres is treated with a swelling agent, preferably aqueous sodium hydroxide, whilst in a form in which it is unrestrained and free to shrink. The swelling agent causes the lyocell fibres to swell without destroying their structure by dissolution, the amount of swelling being in excess of the amount to which the lyocell fibres will swell during exposure to all subsequent wet processing of the fabric. The effect of the swelling agent is then diluted with water so as substantially to set the yarns in the fabric in the positions relative to one another that they have in the swollen condition. The resulting fabrics are very much less affected by creasing than untreated fabrics are and do not suffer as much from the formation of lines during subsequent wet processing.

Abstract: A pixel-based imaging device is calibrated to take account of the non-linear response of a pixel cell and/or differences between pixel cells. A table is defined which includes an entry for each pixel cell. This is accessed to apply the conversion function determined for the pixel cell to a value output from the pixel cell to compute a corrected value representative of the radiation incident on the pixel cell. The conversion function can include a response function for each pixel cell which represents a non-linear relationship of pixel output values to pre-defined pixel input values and a scale parameter for each pixel cell which represents non-uniformity between pixel cells. Alternatively, the conversion function for each pixel cell can represent respective pixel output values in response to a series of different amounts of radiation applied to the imaging device.

Abstract: A broadband diffractive diffuser contains at least three levels, with approximately a phase shift of  pi  between at least two of the at least three levels. Such a diffuser provides light with more than two phasor vectors at the zero order. The presence of the more than two phasor vectors reduces the zero order diffraction efficiency at non-design wavelength, increasing the usefulness of the diffuser at wavelengths other than the design wavelength. Preferably, the diffractive diffuser includes a plurality of regions, approximately 50% of an area of the plurality of regions presenting a phase shift of  pi  at a design wavelength, approximately 25% of the area of the plurality of regions presenting a phase shift of 2 pi  at the design wavelength, and approximately 25% of the area of the plurality of regions presenting a phase shift of 0 at the design wavelength. Such a diffractive diffuser may be formed by logical operations between two diffractive diffuser patterns, by adding two diffractive diffuser patterns, or by pixel-by-pixel scanning.

Abstract: Formed constituents of a quiescent anticoagulated whole blood or other biologic fluid sample are optically analyzed by an optical scanning instrument. The sample is contained in a sample chamber that has a varying through plane thickness. The thickness of any fields of view in the blood sample which contain plasma lacunae can be calculated by the instrument as a function of signal emission strength emanating from the colored plasma in the lacunae. The signal emissions can be the result of sample fluorescence or can be the result of signal density emanating from the sample. Particle volumes can be measured as a function of signal emission suppression which is caused by formed particles in the blood sample. The scanning instrument is calibrated by means of the inclusion of a calibration area associated with the chamber which calibration area includes a portion which receives a known depth of colored plasma from the blood sample, and which calibration area also includes a colorant-emission-suppressing feature which feature has a known volume. The scanning instrument scans the known depth portion of the calibration area to determine what degree of signal emission strength correlates to the known depth, and the scanning instrument also scans the colorant-emission-suppressing feature to determine what degree of signal suppression correlates to the known volume of the aforesaid feature. The instrument stores the information gained from the calibration area and then proceeds to analyze the blood sample for formed constituent volumes and constituent counts per unit of the blood sample.
